Chapter Thirty-Seven: One Arrow Hostile to a Thousand Mouths
Zhuo Zangfeng turned around, anger already burning in his chest, looking at the countless disdainful and hostile eyes in the field, he felt that he should do something. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This country boy from a small place, this young man who was considered extremely lucky by those present, made everyone envious, jealous, and even aroused common hatred at this time.
In Qifeng Mountain, he could rather die for the sake of dignity in order not to let his relatives be insulted, but now, in the huge Chang'an City, he is the enemy of all the suitors because of something he does not know.
A roaring river will be the first to break through the weakest banks, and impotent anger will be vented on the weak. It's all because I'm not strong enough.
He didn't know how to offend these people, making him look like a street rat right now.
Is it just because you didn't join the courtship?
Didn't shoot out what "nine songs" laid by the general in the General's Mansion?
He turned to look at the crowd of people who raised their arms and shouted.
A teenager from a small place does not have a deterrent effect. He was angry and hungry, and all he wanted was to get out of this tiresome place as soon as possible.
He looked at the crowd with a palpitating look in his eyes, and then walked silently towards the place where the bow and arrows had been placed.
The guards who distributed the bows and arrows watched the angry but calm young man choose a very ordinary longbow, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile.
Zhuo Zangfeng no longer pays attention to anyone, in fact, he never pays attention to anyone, all this time, it is these self-righteous guys who are causing trouble.
Trying to calm his emotions, he tugged on the bowstring and tried the tension of the bowstring.
"Haha!"
Someone laughed out loud, and in his opinion, the teenager's action was a sign of timidity.
From where he was standing to the place where the flying general Tian Qianfeng was, there was a distance between an arrow, and the distance between the flying general's side and the "Nine Curves and Shadows" in the air was far beyond the range of ordinary attacks.
No matter how you look at it, the place where he stood was not the best place to shoot.
"Look, that kid is in the wrong place. ā
"Why doesn't he use that strong bow?"
"That bow weighs more than a thousand pounds, how can he pull it away. ā
Listening to the discussion of the crowd, Yao Changqi's face was a little unbearable, and he turned his head to look at King Ning.
"Can he break the 'Nine Songs'?"
King Ning looked intently at the young man who was waiting to shoot with a bow over there, shook his head and said, "No." I just don't think he should have turned back at all, and that's a bit of a self-defeating one...... However, he was very calm. ā
King Ning's words fell into the ears of Tian Qianfeng, who was on the side, but this sharpshooter general with frosted sideburns couldn't help it.
At least he didn't fight back in the face of the cynicism of countless people, which should be regarded as cultivation. ā
Tian Qianfeng urged the qi machine, without any expression on his face.
This time, he only used less than thirty percent of his skills in the "Nine Songs and Quiet".
For this brave and upright marksman, it was just a very easy thing to do.
In the previous court competitions, he was able to keep most of his disciples out of the door by using the arrangement of the same realm.
He didn't think that the young man in front of him had the ability to break the "Nine Curves", but he had some appreciation for the young man, or some sympathy for the weak.
King Ning still shook his head when he heard the words of this upright marksman.
"I don't think one mouth can scold a thousand mouths. As soon as he opened his mouth, he would definitely be scolded for being bloody, you should know the kung fu of the people of Chang'an?"
Tian Qianfeng remembered that he was once trapped in the enemy formation on the battlefield, holding a bow alone against thousands of cavalry, and in the face of the enemy's insults, he just calmly shot arrows. One arrow, a thousand arrows to thousands of cavalry.
It was this battle that made him famous.
He couldn't help but say: "But Xia Guan thinks that one arrow is always more powerful than ten thousand mouths." ā
Yao Changqi turned around, didn't look at the young man in the field, and didn't think about the meaning of Tian Qianfeng's words, he just thought in his heart: "He doesn't measure himself." ā
Zhuo Zangfeng gently put the arrow on the string amid the discussion of the crowd.
The arrow rests on the string, like the deft fingers of some master musician resting on the string, ready to play wonderful music.
He exhaled lightly, pinched his thumb and forefinger, tried the tension of the bowstring again, slowly raised the feather arrow, and looked calmly at the nine copper coins that were constantly changing in the air.
The copper coin is four seal characters on it, Kaiyuan Tongbao, Wude four years casting, the seal character is simple and elegant, dignified and majestic, it is from the hand of Ouyang Xun, a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty.
The sunlight was a little dazzling, Zhuo Zangfeng squinted slightly, calmed down, and did not hesitate to open his bow and release arrows.
The boiling crowd suddenly held their breath, and all eyes were fixed on the incomparably ordinary hard bow, following the feathered arrow that pointed diagonally into the air and slowly moved upward.
There was a soft "whoosh" sound, the sound of an arrow cutting through the air.
Everyone's eyes wanted to follow the direction of the arrow, but the speed at which they moved their gaze was far less than that of the feather arrow, and when they looked up, they only heard a clang, and Venus splashed in the sky, dazzling.
They closed their eyes, and they could still conjure up a light that was more dazzling than lightning in front of them, and then they heard the loud voice of the sharpshooter general Tian Qianfeng with a tone of surprise and incomprehension.
"He actually broke my 'Nine Songs'!"
Xie Chenhuan's eyes were full of doubts, and he looked at the vice president of the Heavenly Master Academy, who was also shocked, and asked, "Sir, does he really not know how to practice?"
Duan Quchen seemed to be a little tired, and lowered his voice and asked, "Could it be that Mr. will still be blind?"
King Ning stared blankly at the air, except for the scorching sun, except for the white clouds, there was nothing there, and even the confidence on his face was quietly scattered in this arrow.
Yao Changqi didn't have any expression on his face, and when he heard the exclamation, he immediately understood that something unexpected had happened.
There was a deep look of doubt in his eyes.
The arrow seemed to hit him in the head, and it boomed, making the powerful hussar general a little unbearable.
The crowd suddenly reacted, and the young man actually broke the "Nine Songs"?!ć
This time it was surprisingly quiet.
No one applauded, no one applauded, some just shock, remorse, helplessness and other emotions.
After shooting an arrow, Zhuo Zangfeng didn't even look at it, and as for whether the arrow hit the target, he didn't need to worry about it at all, because he knew it in his own heart.
Huo Ran turned around, threw down the wooden bow that had lost its feather arrow, and he raised his feet and left.
At that moment, he seemed to be in a hurry to get out of here, and he couldn't wait for the arrow to fly from the ground to the air.
After taking a step, the feather arrow hit the copper coin, making a "ding" sound, and the anger in his heart seemed to be alleviated a lot with this arrow, and then he said to the crowd in a daze: "Broken mouths in the capital, I will let you all shut up for me with this arrow!"
However, few people heard the words clearly, and everyone was immersed in shock, and the light sound of the arrow hitting the copper coin bombarded their hearts like thunder.
They turned their heads and watched a lonely young man with a wooden box on his back in the still fierce autumn sun on the street crowded with sumptuous carriages.
......
In a very delicate room, through the carved doors and windows, a crisp voice said, "Madam, he ...... That young man broke Tian Feijiang's 'Nine Songs'. ā
There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, I heard another voice say: "'Nine Songs through the Quiet' is not very difficult, Wei'er can break it at the age of fourteen, if Tian Qianfeng does it with all his might, few people in Chang'an can break it." ā
The man with the crisp accent seemed a little unconvinced, and said, "But there are so many people outside that no one can break it." ā
There was silence again, and then there was the sound of cups and plates clattering.
After a long time, another voice said: "It's broken, it's not a big deal, look at your joy, I really don't know what you think about this girl, I see that you have cultivated to such a state in vain." ā
A crisp voice said: "Xian'er will never dare to say the word realm in front of Madame." ā
"You girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, by the way, there was a red bird when the young man entered the door, where did it fly. ā
"Back to Madame, after he was gone, the red bird flew away. ā
"Don't let Miss know about this, you go and watch the young man, don't let him get any accidents. ā
"Madam, how can I, a woman, follow a ...... Man?"
"Go ahead, you're smart, you should know how to do things. ā
Madame's order is unquestionable, Xian'er does not dare to disobey, even if Madame asks him to commit to this young man, she will honestly obey it.
It was not difficult to find that young man, and the eyes and ears of many generals' mansions in Chang'an easily found the inn where Zhuo Zangfeng was temporarily resting.
The inn is not big and relatively remote, which is Zhuo Zangfeng's consideration of the silver in his pocket.
The hotel on the street is magnificent, but it certainly costs a lot of money.
So he tried to go to the middle of nowhere, asking the price one by one, and finally chose the cheapest inn to live in.
Lunch is very simple, a bowl of rice, a plate of pickles, I am already very hungry when I come back from the general's mansion, and it tastes the sweetest at this time, and after a while, a bowl of white rice will all be eaten.
The shopkeeper looked at the gobbling teenager, thinking that there were many down-and-out scholars who were rushing to take the exam in previous years, and it didn't seem to be so shabby. This guy has eaten a total of two meals since he lived in the hotel, a white meal, and he has eaten so sweetly.
After eating, Zhuo Zangfeng walked out of the inn.
Kyoto is rich, and all the streets are paved with bluestone, and this hard pavement is too hard to walk on as the dirt road of Qifengshan, because his boots are already rotten, and the soles of his boots are almost worn out, leaving only a thin layer.
Walking into the market, the dazzling array of shops did not stop him. At a small stall, he saw a pair of black boots, asked the price for a long time, touched the copper coin in his sleeve, shook his head and left.
There is a bookstore in front, which is full of all kinds of books and classics, a subset of scriptures and history, and you can walk into the world of books.
There is a table in the center, and three well-dressed middle-aged people are drinking tea and chatting.
Stepping into the bookstore, the three of them were full of excitement, and no one glanced at him, continuing to do family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs.
"The son of the high commander had a green face at that time, and he estimated that he was now crying at his mother's bedside and calling his mother. It's really a lazy toad that eats swan meat, how can these sons be willing?"
"I didn't expect it! I really didn't expect it! A kid from out of town actually broke Tian Feijiang's 'Nine Songs'!"
"It's not strange, but the strangest thing about me is that this poor boy has the qualifications to be the son-in-law of the general's mansion? ā
"Now some of the excitement has been watched, I don't know what kind of mood Bu Denghong Gongzi is? Alas...... A flower was stuck in cow dung. ā
"Don't make a noise, this arrow is even more unexpected than the holy princess, maybe there is something big in the palace. ā
Zhuo Zangfeng was stunned, his body was cold, and he quickly recalled the conversation with his wife, could the so-called things of his own family be ......
The sweat on his body was pouring out, and he soon soaked his clothes.
